I've been a full-stack/frontend engineer for about five years (and I love it!) but I have a growing curiosity in tangential topics like hardware, robotics, and ML.
Would love to hear some experiences from folks that have branched out from the web into other corners of engineering.
(Please provide education and work history as context if you're comfortable doing so!)

I'm lucky to have transitioned from web development to working on scientific computing desktop software. I started my career in aerospace engineering, but left it to chase the glitter and unicorns of fast-moving tech companies where I did a handful of Rails development and data science. After a few years, I really missed working on the technical challenges related to modeling complex simulation systems and managed to loop back around to work for the first company I worked for out of school.
